My [26F] boyfriend [31M] is bothered by the fact that none of my cats [2F, F, and M] have proper names

This is not a super serious issue, but I would like an outside perspective.

My boyfriend of 5 months is a MAJOR animal lover and that's fine! I love a man who loves animals. Personally, I love cats so much so that I volunteer at the animal shelter. I'm not a cruel person when it comes to animals at all! I have three kitties that my brother gave to me after someone abandoned them in his work parking lot.

They don't have official names. I usually call them Mister Boy (the male), Runts (because she's the runt) and Nips (she will getcha if you aren't paying attention), or I refer to them by a series of nicknames, such as, "big britches/jammies" (Mister Boy), "little britches/jammies" (Runts) etc.

My boyfriend says I should name them, but should I have to? I couldn't think of names for the little shitheads then and still can't haha.

TLDR Boyfriend wants me to name my cats. Is this an, as I suspect, "him problem"? Is it really that strange my little curmudgeons don't have names?
